Hello Everyone, Recently someone from Evanston,Ill. posted a note asking me about a Feldenkrais techer there. My e-mail builds up so fast these days that I can't keep up with it, (and I'm only on two forums). Therefore, the posting go t lost, so I'l just post this referral generally. My Feldenkrais teacher gave me a couple of names there. If you are still interested, give me a phone call at (312) 489-3607, and I'll tell you who they are with their phone numbers. I feel uncomfortable posting their names without their permission. I have had three or four lessons now, and I can definitely see that this is going to help in a long-term, subtle kind of way. My gait and my voice are the focus of attention. My voice is already improving. Call me if you are still looking. I also noticed the posting on "healing harps". I think guitar and piano have a similar affect even though the vibration doesn't touch the body in the same place. The sensual aspects and the hearing and production of rhythym have some value here. Sometimes I think that metaphorically PD patients need to be reminded (as if we didn't know by now ) that we are not self-sufficient, by requiring us to experience friction with the material world around us in order to function. Well so much for that ruminating. Claudia Elliott
